Best PC Engine CD-ROM2 games?

[BlackandBlue]

I just bid on a copy of Spriggan. It's stateside too 

Bastard, I was watching that one!   

Sorry about that. I couldn't pass it up.

Ha, no worries. I think I hit my monthly spending limit anyway

I don't think that Exile and Valis IV have been mentioned. Exile in english can be had for under $10 brand new.

buy 'em ALL and don't you forget about register on www.pcedaisakusen.net and put your collection in there, as every normal thinking person does

I found Exile for $11 in perfect condition a while ago. All that was missing was the box.

Spriggan is indeed one of the best games on the system.  Rainbow Islands and Super Darius are two other excellent CD-ROM2 imports.

I also found a copy of Cosmic Fantasy 2 MIB. I almost don't like the game. The anime cut scenes are cool but the random battles are beyond ridiculous!

I haven't heard of Rainbow Islands yet. I'll check it out!!

So what's Vasteel all about? Nexzr looks interesting too.

So what's Vasteel all about?

I completely forgot to list Vasteel (thought of it earlier).

It's a fun war sim, even for people like me who don't enjoy war sims. The map is setup like Military Madness/Nectaris (kinda like Famicom/Advance Wars). The battles are one on one with controlable mechas. You can set it to auto battle if you want. It spans several planets and there are space battles, all fought with cool robots with 8 angles per model. The game features all kinds of cool special effects/graphical tricks. The only down side is the lounge music soundtrack. The PCE version is cheap and totally playable.

Yeah, I noticed how affordable it was. I have never been much of a strategy fan either but I loved Military Madness. I might give this a try down the road.

spriggan will blow yo away literally. the action, the speed, the dynamic, the BGMs and last but not least the graphx. a real master piece de compiles cuisine. you won't be disappointed on that.

SWEET

I am not trying to change the subject but since I have all your attention I need to ask a question. Where can I get a Turbografx(not Duo) extension cable. I accidentally bought the wrong kind from Monoprice. It only works on the Duo. But it was real cheap, so not a big loss. Plus if I ever get an American Duo I'll be all set   Anyway, there are a few international options through eBay but I'd rather go stateside. Any ideas?

Someone here, or ebay, is your best bet I would guess for an extension.

Or do what i do, sit with my face against the TV more or less.    It feels more Turbo that way!  Or use the Turbo Tap as a ghetto extension, which I also currently do all the time.

Cosmic Fantasy 2 gets alot better once you are at the point where the random battles are just funny little jokes. (Yknow, when you just kill everything in a round).

Exile, Vasteel and CF2 are all pretty damn good.  Exile is a little bit RPG, and a little bit Action.

(that almost turned into an Osmond joke)

Exile is a very easy going game also.   You won't really be throwing the controller in anger at it, but its involved and fun.

Don't be afraid to pick up Avenger if you can find it really cheap. Sure, from first impressions you might think it's utter hogwash, but there is a good, challenging shooter hidden away in there. And it has some amazing pictures between levels.
